Hmmm Stunner bro.... good job....
Plz tell me from where u'r doing L.L.B ..... I've done it from International Islamic University Islamabad
I'm nowadays preparing International Law ... I'm thinking to quit Psychology n opt for Muslim History? What do u suggest as my other optionals are Arabic, Muslim Law, International Law......:p

Use Mazahar Ul Haq's 'A short of history of Islam' and P.K Hitti's books at the moment .. Make short notes from them and quote from Hitti's text .. I won't however recommend you to prepare from these two books alone .. But if you cover the topics I mentioned in my earlier post from them within 10 to 12 days for Part 1 and later the same number of days for Part 2, it'll be a great job .. When you're done with that let me know and I'll recommend another one or 2 books to skim and scan and polish your notes .. It'll take 2 days maximum then .. I can think of this plan as best suiting your routine .. Best of luck ..


Bro I'm doing LLB Hons from University of London as an external student .. So you are a lawyer now, best of luck in practice ..
Regarding Psychology and Islamic History, well, it is a difficult decision to make .. I had both these subjects as optional .. I found Psychology easy and not time consuming .. Islamic History on the other hand was interesting but lengthy .. But, I liked it more .. To me both are excellent subjects .. But the decision has to be made by you .. Explore through syllabus and one or two books and find out which one of these you've got aptitude for and can do justice with .. Best of luck ..

P.S: Islamic History will benefit you a lot in Islamiat and Muslim Law papers ..

Regards ..

ok thnx stunner
nd recommend me about Ameer ali as well

nd how much u have scored in the subject

Ameer Ali's 'Spirit of Islam' and 'History of Saracens' are excellent books .. You can use them after you have completed your notes on a particular topic, and then skim and scan through them for additional information or quotes ..

I have just appeared in 2012 exams .. I'm not sure of my expected score, but you can score good InshaAllah by following the said pattern of preparation ..

Regards ..

Thanks Stunner for giving your precious time .. well i have another question here .. i will be completing my 4 years BS program in the coming December and i want to appear in the coming CSS exams of 2013.. but unfortunately i will be issued my degree/transcript in 2013 Jan or Feb expected.. Now will i be able to appear in the exams for 2013 having my papers passed InshaALLAH in Dec but no degree neither transcript.. i have recently asked about my concerns to an individual and he told me that i wont be able to appear in 2013 otherwise i will face some problems when FPSC does the scrutiny of the documents after papers .. Kindly help me in it .. I really need it.. I dont want to wait uptill 2014..

Bro this is not the relevant thread for this query .. But in answer to your question, If your result will be announced in December then you can only apply if you get some sort of acknowledgement of your result from your institution, like a result card, transcript or something like that .. However, if your result will be announced after December then you will have to wait for the 2014 attempt ..

Regards ..

is ISLAMIC HISTORY by K.Ali enough to cover all course...

ASSALAM-O-ALAIKUM brothers kindly mjay koi easy aur short notes bta dein islamic history and culture k agr kisi k pas hn lahore mn bta dein mn us se collect kr ln ga agr soft form mn hain kindly mjay mail kr dein ALLAH apko iski jza de mn kafi preshan hn q k mjay is k baray mn kuchh nai pta aur na smj aa rhi hai k kahan se tyari krn??????????

No single book is enough to cover Islamic History fully and in accordance with the recent exam trend .. For relevant books read earlier posts in this thread ..

Waalaikum Salam .. Brother I would advise you to make your own notes from the books mentioned by my earlier .. Do not go for pre-prepared short and easy notes as they won't fetch you the required marks ..
Aap iss thread ko shuru se aur ghor se parrhain, InshaAllah aapko samajh aa jaaye gi k kahan se aur kaisay tayari karni hai .. Just do not panic .. If you have any further questions do not hesitate to ask ..

Best of luck ..

Regards ..
